Cardinals vs. Braves (12:15 PM, EST)

Over 8.5 (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

It’s safe to say that Miles Mikolas has been one of the worst pitchers in 2025, and he gets the start for the 9-14 Cardinals on Wednesday. The Braves are in fourth place in the NL East, and they are starting Bryce Elder, who has also been bad this season. 

Mikolas and Elder both have an ERA north of 7.00. Both pitchers are winless on the year and have allowed a combined 27 runs. 

St. Louis has exceeded offensive expectations, hitting .262 as a team, which is the second-best mark. They also allow a ton of runs, which is why the Cardinals have been forced to be solid offensively. 

Atlanta is hitting .232 as a team, which isn’t the greatest, but they have a favorable matchup against Mikolas. 

Expect both pitchers to struggle on Wednesday and for the offenses to shine.

Reds vs. Marlins (1:10 PM, EST)

Under 8.5 (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Reds vs Marlins game features one of the best pitching matchups on Wednesday’s slate. Brady Singer squares off against former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara. 

Singer is 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA in 21.1 innings in this young season. He has 16 strikeouts in his last three starts, and this will continue against the Marlins.

Alcantara comes into this game at 2-1, but he has struggled in his last two starts. This is a perfect spot to trust Alcantara facing a Reds offense that has been mediocre in 2025. 

The Marlins are hitting .262 as a team, which is at the top of the league, but they will be challenged in this game against the undefeated Singer. 

I see both starters going deep into the contest and limiting runs on the scoreboard.

Rockies vs. Royals (7:40 PM, EST)

Royals Moneyline (-205) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The last-place Rockies in the NL West take on the third-place Royals out of the AL Central. This is a series that Kansas City should easily sweep, as Colorado is one of the worst teams in baseball. 

The Rockies are starting German Marquez, who is winless on the year with an 8.27 ERA. The Royals will go with the veteran Michael Lorenzen. 

The Royals' offense has been non-existent this season, which makes this an excellent series for the bats to come alive. 

Colorado is hitting .218 as a team, which is the fifth-worst in the league, and I don’t see this changing anytime soon. I expect Lorenzen to pound the strike zone and limit the walks.

I think Bobby Witt will lead the way for the Royals at the plate, and they will cruise to a victory to round out our parlay.
